Posting Guidelines for the Antisocial Masses

I'm sure you are wondering what should be posted to this blog. Well, we don't want to get too formal about this but I decided to make some suggestions.

First, dont' post stuff that's really dumb. Only post things that aren't really dumb. If you have something that's partially dumb you should seriously consider how stupid you'll look when someone more arrogant decides your post is mostly, if not completely, dumb.

Second, we are encouraging the use of large words. It is important to remember that large words are the root of all worthy causes. However, it won't help anyone if you actually explain what you mean so please simply encourage the use of a dictionary as a part of your post. We'll attempt to provide a link or embedded search tool specifically for looking up big words.

Third, we like stuff that is not standard fare. We are a bit snobbish about food, science and music. So, please don't bore us with anything mundane in these topics unless you have something really insightful to say. :)

Fourth, we like lots of numbered lists and bullet points. Please include these as a core element in your posts. If you can't number or bullet-point what you are talking about it makes us question whether you've really thought about what you are trying to write.

  1. I regret that my essay on the importance of the procrastination of sleep may be considered by certain individuals to be sophomoric, if not really dumb. Although it has nothing to do with food, science, or music, it was not in bullet form

    -neither
    -was this
    -post...

  3. That is,
    I keep forgetting the following:
    - bullet points
    - more bullet points
    - a third bullet point, because everyone knows these things are better in threes
